People have a shallow understanding of religion
Let me use the example of culinary culture as an analogy.
This post is a response to society but specifically because of lack of clarity in peoples threads/posts in this forum.
There are certain fundamental's in cooking. Cooking can be regarded as a similar process across all culinary cultures, but at the same time it is not the same.
They motivation is to eat, both to appreciate and provide nutrition, but different cultures/people will use different ingredients and therefore the food is different across different culinary denominations (i.e. Asian, Indian, Mediterranean, etc).
It is a fact all of the food tastes like food, but it tastes very different.
Please when you are making your attacks on God, religion, faith etc be specific in your articulation. You might understand where your coming form but we dont.
In other words, there are various interpretations of god, so if you have a question of God make it specific to a specific interpretation.
I see alot of people attacking Christianity but they don't make this clear so this inhibits constructive feedback.
here is an example: following God will get you sent to hell.
all of the ways in which you can follow God or just the one?
you see what i mean.
People dont understand religion well, only in a certain context; which for most totse users is the western context so Christianity is the religion being questioned; and yet if one has a truly intrinsic problem and with religion, faith and spirituality then all aspects and types of religion would be comprehended.
But because this intrinsic motivation is lacking i am forced to conclude that the nay-sayers are the real sheep whilst those with an intrinsic motivation to be contructive with their life and act intrinsicly and in and of themselves are to be commended.
TL/DR Stop stereo typing religion.
